ISDIN Melatonik Overnight Recovery Serum

The serum is primarily formulated with three key ingredients: melatonin to support overnight repair, bakuchiol as a botanical retinol alternative, and vitamin C. This combination works synergistically to combat oxidative stress and improve skin elasticity.

Because Melatonik contains bakuchiol, which functions similarly to retinol, you should be cautious about applying strong prescription retinoids immediately afterward to avoid irritation. Many dermatologists recommend alternating nights between using this serum and traditional retinol treatments.

As a lightweight serum, Melatonik should be applied to clean, dry skin before applying your heavier night creams or moisturizers. This allows the active ingredients to penetrate the skin barrier effectively without being blocked by thicker occlusives.

No, the melatonin in this dermatological formula is applied topically and is intended to act as an antioxidant that triggers the skin's natural nocturnal repair mechanisms. It is not formulated to induce drowsiness or affect your central nervous system like oral sleep aids.
